The Wheeling Gas Trustees are con-
sidering proposition to use natural gas
as the base Of their product. It is to be
hoped thst they may reach conclusion
favorable to the use Of the cheapest and
beat OF all rev materials for their purpose.
Mr.. Denniaton, a gas engineer OF Pitts
burah, testifes that the use OF natural gas
in that city has greatly improved the
quality and reduced the cost Of the illu-
minnnt. Hessys that 1000 feet Of natural
gas, twelve gallons Of crude oil and four
bushels OF coke will produce from 5000 to
10000 feet Of illuminant Of M.candle
power. Another engineer says that the
cost Of gas made by this process is from Is
to IS cents per 1000 feet. Gas Of 2O'can'
die power would be revelation to Wheel.
ing, which, by q violent stretch Of the
Imagination, is applied with what is
called 1Gcandle power gas. We get our
gas at ninety cents net, but it ia Of inle'
nor grade served at high pressure, and the
pressure, not the quality shows in the
bills. .o.a-5 .a.. ~
Wheeling ought to have better gasst less
cost. Unless wo reach this point the
Trustees will SEQ the electric light become
every day more formidable competitor,
aud honseholders now using oil will be q
long while turning to gas. II the city do.
sirss to maintain It's hold 1t must pursue
fairly enlightened business methods.
Natural gas seema to point to a solution Of
the problem, md 1t Is to be hoped THAT
the Trustees may be able TO see 1t IN that

WASHINGTON, IND, May IA moat
distressing case OF parent unwittingly
killing his son occurred here last night,
the particulars Of which are as follows:
William sandford, aged 6s, highly re.
spected citizen and ex.Tressurer Of this
county, resides in this city with his wife
and nine Of his ten children, the eldeat
child being married and away from the
parental roof. He owns and cultiyates a
farm about two miles from the city, and,
with his eighteen-ye son Hamlet and
a younger son, had been .'baching" in an
old house on the farm while putting in a
crop this spring. Last night, at the farm
houEe, Hamlet arose, between eleven and
twelve o'clock, and opened the door
OF the room in which he and
his father slept in separate beds, and the
creaking Of the door awoke the father.
who in the darkness saw the outline of a
man in the doorway, and supposng him
to be an intruder, called out twice: l"Who

son made no reply, but said in a low tome

charged a load OF shot into the Young
mans breast. The latter said, "Oh, pa.
you have struck mel" sank to the floor.
and expired in few minutes.
It is thought that the young man had
arisen in his sleep, and was not awake
when accosted by his father, or else got
up to admit the dog and paid no attention
to his fathers questions, believing him to
be talking in mis- sleep. The neiphboss
were OF once aroused as soon as the terri.
bic mistake was recognized, and the news
brought to the city. The family did not
learn the particulars OF the dreadful affair,
however, until the father arrived ct three
O'Clock with his dead son and detailed the
tragic occurrence. Mias 0mio Sanford, a
sister Of the deceased and teacher in the
City Public Schools, tainted on hearing
her father relate the sad story, and has
been unconscious ever since. Her life is
despaired OF, and fears are entertained
that the father will loss his mind, IS he
has experienced serious trouble Of late on
account Of business reverses, and the dead
son was favorito child and the mainstsy
Of his aged father. The grief of the fam.
lily is most hesrt.rending to behold, and
excites universal sympathy.

FoRr WAYNE, IND, May 1.-THE Mis-

Just before adjourning tho question Of
Knights of Labor was considered. The
committee appointed last year on that
subject reported they were unable vet to
come TO definite decision; that they re-
cognizs that capitalists in some instances
opprees the poor man, aud they therefore
see the necessity OF resisting such en-
croachments; but first, they do not ap.
prove Ct the means resorted to by Knights
OF Labor in battling against that oppres-
sion. w -
Second, they condemn the boycott as a
weapon OF resistance and retaliation by
the knights Of Labor. Third, they de-.
nounce the practice Of the knights Of La
Dor who prevent non.union men from
taking the places OF striksrs, aud who de.
ny their own members the privilege Of re-.
turning to work at will. Fourth, they un-
equiyocally condemn the manner in
which strikes are now conducted. The
Synod resolved to warn their members Of
